CyberOptics Corporation (NASDAQ: CYBE), a leading SMT inspection solutions provider, announces that it will introduce MX500™ - the industry’s first fully-modularized AOI solution for populated printed circuit boards at NEPCON South China 2010. CyberOptics invites all attendees to visit Booth 2C48 to catch a first glimpse of the MX500™ modular AOI system as it makes its debut at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Centre, August 31 - September 2, 2010.

MX500™ - SMT Industry’s FIRST FULLY MODULARIZED AOI system provides a high degree of scalability and flexibility for production line expansion using an innovative multi-lane approach. Embracing modularity in its design, the MX500™ offers a horizontal-stackable conveyor system with a primary master inspection lane that can be coupled with additional lanes to support dual-lane, triple-lane and full-fledged quad-lane configurations.

CyberOptics’ core inspection sensor design - Strobed Inspection Module (SIM) and inspection engine (SAM) is at the heart of MX500™, delivering the highest-speed and also the most flexible inspection solution for advanced automated inspection of solder and lead defects, presence and position, correct part, and polarity for inspection down to 01005 components.

“We are proud to showcase the industry’s first truly modular AOI system at NEPCON South China," said Dennis Rutherford, CyberOptics Inspection Systems Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. “CyberOptics’ continuous investment in product development has now resulted in an expanded AOI product line-up to include the recently released QX500 series which has been recognized as the fastest high performance AOI in the market followed by the MX500 series of AOI which will be making its debut at NEPCON Shenzhen. This new modular AOI system will give customers the flexibility to buy a single lane AOI today and upgrade the same machine to dual or more lanes at a fraction of the cost as compared to buying a new dual lane AOI system in the future. We are excited about offering our customers this kind of flexibility and giving them complete control over adding on lanes whenever they want to.”
